    River Deel (Crossmolina) Drainage Scheme in association with 4. POPULATION & HUMAN HEALTH 4.1 INTRODUCTION This section of the Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR) describes the potential impacts of the proposed Crossmolina Drainage Scheme on population and human health and has been completed in accordance with the guidance set out by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in ‘Guidelines on Information to be contained in Environmental Impact Statements’ (EPA, 2017) and the European Commission in relation to Environmental Impact Assessment of Projects (Directive 2011/92/EU as amended by 2014/52/EU) including ‘Guidance on Screening’, ‘Guidance on Scoping’ and ‘Guidance on the preparation of the Environmental Impact Assessment Report’. One of the principle considerations in the development process is that people, as individuals or communities, should experience no significant diminution in their quality of life from the direct or indirect impacts arising from the construction and operation of a development. Ultimately, all the impacts of a development impinge on human beings, directly and indirectly, positively and negatively. The key issues examined in this section of the EIAR include population & human health, employment and economic activity, land-use, residential amenity, community facilities and services, tourism, and health and safety. Reference is also made, in this chapter, to nuisance impacts on human beings that are dealt with in other sections of this EIAR such as flooding from Chapter 7 - Hydrology and Hydrogeology;

Roscommon Tel: 094 986 1441 Fax: 094 986 1443 Web: www.wdc.ie 1 Submission from the Western Development Commission (WDC) to the Public Consultation on the Border, Midland and Western (BMW) Regional Operational Programme 2007-2013 1. Introduction The Western Development Commission (WDC) welcomes this opportunity to make a submission to the preparation of the Border, Midland and Western (BMW) Regional Operational Programme 2007-2013. The WDC is a statutory body, under the aegis of DCRAGA, 1 whose remit is to promote, foster and encourage economic and social development in the Western Region. 2 The WDC works in co-operation with national, regional and local bodies involved in western development to: • review and monitor development policy and make appropriate proposals to government departments and agencies; • identify and implement development initiatives, or facilitate their implementation by other relevant organisations; and • assist businesses, social enterprises and projects by managing the WDC Investment Fund amounting to €34 million of exchequer funding.3 The WDC has built up considerable expertise in regional development based on research, analysis, and practice from its initiatives in tourism, organic agri-food and renewable energy. 4 Through this work, the WDC seeks to ensure that government policy responds to the needs of the Western Region as regards infrastructure investment, exploitation of natural resources, enterprise and rural development. In this context, the WDC has made detailed submissions to the Department of Finance outlining our proposals for the National Development Plan 2007-2013, and to the Department of Agriculture and Food, and DCRAGA outlining our proposals for the Rural Development Programme 2007-2013.

  • Dealing with Bearing Capacity Problems on Low Volume Roads Constructed on Peat
    Ron Munro DEALING WITH BEARING CAPACITY PROBLEMS ON LOW VOLUME ROADS CONSTRUCTED ON PEAT Including case histories from roads projects within the ROADEX Partner Districts THIS PROJECT IS BEING PART- FINANCED BY THE EUROPEAN UNION European Regional Development Fund DEALING WITH BEARING CAPACITY PROBLEMS ON LOW VOLUME ROADS CONSTRUCTED ON PEAT INCLUDING CASE HISTORIES FROM ROADS PROJECTS WITHIN THE ROADEX PARTNER DISTRICTS December 2004 Ron Munro The Highland Council PREFACE This Report is a final report of the Phase 2 ‘Understanding and Analysis’ section of the EU ROADEX II Project and aims to give an insight into the state of the art of road construction and road maintenance for roads constructed across peat in the Northern Periphery of Europe. It will concentrate particularly on the current practices for road construction over peatlands in the four specific Partner Areas of the EU Roadex Project i.e. Troms County in Norway, the Districts of Keski-Suomi and Lapland in Finland, the Region Norr of Sweden and the Highland Area of Scotland. In addition, where appropriate, the report will also refer to relevant peat related experiences being carried out elsewhere in the world where these are considered apposite to the report. The report was written following discussions and meetings with engineers across the Partner areas. The author would like to thank Aarno Valkeisenmäki, Hannu Keralampi, Timo Saarenketo, Jorma Immonen and Martti Eerola from Finland, Karl Melby, Stein Stokkebø, Tor Erik Frydenlund, Roald Aabøe, Kjetil Vollan, Even Øiseth and Inge Hoff from Norway, Peter Carlsten, Johan Ullberg and Gunnar Zweifel from Sweden and Alistair Gilchrist, Frank MacCulloch, Hugh Mackay, Ken Wiseman, Richard Evans, Douglas Bremner and Willie Watt from Scotland for their help and input into the report.

  • Chapter 2 Need for the Proposed Road Development
    Roughan & O’Donovan – AECOM Alliance N5 Ballaghaderreen to Scramoge Road Project Consulting Engineers Environmental Impact Assessment Report Chapter 2 Need for the Proposed Road Development 2.1 Introduction This chapter of the EIAR details the need for the proposed N5 Ballaghaderreen to Scramoge Road Development based on planning policy, the deficiencies in the existing road network and identified future needs of the N5 corridor. This introductory section provides an overview of the key issues, which are then set out in detail in the following sections. Objectives are then set out for the project and the anticipated outcomes for the proposed development are considered against these objectives. 2.1.1 Policy Background The need for the N5 to be upgraded to be a high quality road is clearly set out in European, National, Regional and Local Policy. Under Regulation (EU) 1315/2013 the N5 forms part of the EU TEN-T Comprehensive Network, connecting County Mayo and the Western Region to the European Core Network and onward to Dublin and the rest of Europe, and must meet the defined criteria for a High Quality Road. 2.1.2 Existing Road Network The N5 national primary route is 134km in length, connecting Westport in County Mayo to Longford Town, where it joins the N4 which continues to Dublin. The N5 serves a large geographical area and provides a strategic function in terms of connecting the Western Region of Ireland to the Midlands and the East of the country, and providing access to Ireland West Airport Knock. Previous and ongoing investment has enabled 72% of the length of the N5 to be brought up to modern standards appropriate for a high quality road, with the outstanding section between the eastern end of the Ballaghaderreen Bypass and Scramoge remaining unimproved.
